TO THE EDITOR: Monitoring during cardiopulmonary resuscitation is notoriously difficult. The electrocardiogram is often distorted due to external cardiac massage, and blood pressure measurement is neither easy nor reliable. I would like to describe a case of resuscitation of a child in which I found the presence of a pulse oximeter particularly helpful.
